No disagreement; the content is all over the place.

A few minutes ago CNN declared that Fosset's ID had been found but now it says ID bearing Steve Fossett's name found.

The better headline in all cases - and even the lead - would have been simply that Steve Fosset's identification may have been found, and then go on to describe the facts as known or reported to the writers.

But as you say, it's a developing story and the new-found materials are unauthenticated right now.
